Mark,
Nope, didn't miss the point....... As someone said in an earlier post, the New
products ads probably sit in an in-basket and are used for fillers in QST, with
out reading.
I think its up to the Elmers to clue the newbees in.... and, yes, that's
exactly what is going on with the thread. I was just trying to put the thread
to, shall I say, a "Humorus" death so we could get back on subject.

Jake Jake Jake -- you are missing the point, methinks... As a Life Member of
the League, I resent when they get suckered into the latest scam . usually
has to do with aerials .. I can go on and on here and tell stories of the
famous center connectors epoxy encapsulated, fillled with electronic
trash" -REALLY .. and some resistors that made the SWR bridge happy .. a
famous electronic store I worked for (manager) for a short time had those in
stock .. those in-the-know tee-heed and guffawed... and, they were
discussed in Q Street... and, ultimately exposed as pure BS --- There are
hundreds of antenna devices floating around the Internet, gams of them on
eBay .. but .. a few have SOME merit -- and, in the sixties, we used to
love to talk around town on 75M / 4ØM on Mazda 5ØØW lamps .. connected to
our amps! Nuttin' gnu here! But, a spaghetti feed of aerial wires that
somewhat resonate .. hmmm .. saw the articles, shall now go read..... a ham
taking the time and effort to present his/her ideas and perceived results is
swell .. as long as not not snake oil! AND-- as to being on topic, aerials
are what go on our TOWERS! =];?} HIHI.. es 73 .. Mark AA6DX
